OFELIA – Sew a dress or tunic from woven fabric with a guaranteed feel-good factor
Do you love comfortable, loosely draping dresses with that certain something? Then OFELIA is exactly your thing. This sewing pattern for a woven fabric dress is easy to sew and just as easy to wear. And with our instructions, even beginners can create a dreamily sweet woven dress. Whether as a dress or a tunic – OFELIA looks great in every version.
Sweet dress with an inverted pleat, gathers, and bust darts
OFELIA scores points with small but fine details: delicate gathers at the front, bust darts for a beautiful fit, and a casual inverted pleat at the back that gives the whole piece an airy sway. And yes, you read that right – pockets are included, too. What more could you want?
Sew a dress from linen, muslin, or cotton – perfect for all seasons
OFELIA is designed for non-stretch woven fabrics – so bring out your favorite linen, muslin, or cotton fabric. Depending on the material, OFELIA can look airy and light or elegant and structured. This way, you can sew your very own personal feel-good dress for summer or the transitional period.
Sew a tunic or a dress? You decide
Do you want a tunic for the office, a casual dress for a stroll through town, or a maxi dress for your vacation? OFELIA can do it all. With three hem lengths (mini, midi, maxi) and three sleeve lengths (short, ¾, long), there are no limits to your creativity. Airy and light for summer, cozy for autumn, or warm for winter – you determine the look.
Sewing pattern for all sizes – from 32 to 60
OFELIA is graded for sizes 32 to 60 and has a loose fit – perfect for anyone who likes to feel comfortable while still looking stylish. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, this project is fun and results in a dress (or three 😃) that you'll love wearing again and again.
